...Bishop Shines uses 1 Corinthians 13:1-11 to discuss walking in love. A believer must know love before using gifts. Love humbles itself and prefers to serve others. You can’t receive or give when your hands are filled with envy. Love does not keep a record of what happens. Do you keep records of everything that happens to you, or do you walk in love??

Jesus describes this church as lukewarm, driven by emotion, and with degraded principles that deceive you into thinking you’re okay with God.

Areas of apostasy include seducing spirits, doctrines of demons, hypocrisy, a seared conscience, forbidding marriage, and having a form of godliness while denying its power.

...Bishop Shines uses Ephesians 3:16-21 to conclude the discussion on overcoming offense. When an offense occurs, go directly to the person to discuss it. If they do not listen, take one or two others with you to resolve it. If you have done that and they still do not listen, discuss it with the church leadership. Finally, if all of that doesn’t work, begin to witness to them. Diminishing offense means walking in God’s way, not yours, and letting go.
